Author's Notes: Officially this is the shortest chapter yet, I apologize
for that. The next chapter will be back to normal (if not larger) size. Not
to mention the next chapter is where the actual Fushigi Yuugi characters
play large parts. Huzzah!
"It isn't a bad concept." Tokaki leaned back away from the table and leaned her head into her right hand. The two were alone, from outside came the sounds of a fire and much merriment.
"Then you'll aid us?" Kira watched Tokaki from across the table in a tent that probably passed for a makeshift war-room.
"It will never work, even with the Seishi you possess." Tokaki met Kira's eyes with an unchanging expression.
"Seishi?"
"Those possessed of a symbol. All of your team save you, the woman, and the ninja are seishi." Tokaki answered in a grave tone.
"Why would that matter?" Kira cocked an eyebrow and stared at Tokaki.
"I suppose asking whether you knew why or not would be redundant. Seishi are warriors under the four gods, the marks they bear give them powers beyond mortal men." Tokaki's expression changed from grave to astounded.
"I do not possess any of them."
"Why weren't you surprised when I told you of their powers?"
"Far stranger things have happened to me in my life, people bearing symbols and having supernatural powers is rather low on the weird-stuff meter."
"I see. But even me being without knowledge of their powers, I know your plan will fail."
"Then you will not help us." Kira stood from the chair she was seated at, only to be stopped by Tokaki setting her and on Kira's shoulder.
"I never said that. But you will need to change your plan if you intend on breaking into Byakko Palace." Tokaki smirked and motioned for Kira to sit back down.
"What must we do?" Kira asked as she sat back in the chair.
"First, we must disguise you all." Tokaki began to devise a plan with Kira. In the end the two had woven a near perfect plan to infiltrate the Palace and avoid capture. The plan would take action in only two days, and in two days the journey of Kira and Yuki would change drastically.
